Wow, that J class looks great! Certainly looks on par with some of the J/F hybrids other US airlines offer, at least IMO. And the Flagship Suite continues to keep its style, while updating it! Fantastic!

Looking good there! It seems that American is very slowly evolving from the current garbage of an airline that it is into the prime carrier that passengers look forward to flying with, which it once was. Now, they mustn't forget to tackle that horrible ground and onboard service because seats and TVs are not enough. Fingers crossed for AA!

The biz class shot on the Facebook page is interesting. It appears that they have new ceiling panels (over the aisles) and have changed the bin handles. Are these changes real, and are they coming to other new 777s?

Seeing as the 777 was built for coach with 9 abreast seating, I don't care how fancy an entryway is, I won't be flying on it. It's bad enough that the airlines are bogarting your legspace, let alone cramming another freaking seat in laterally. Lame!!

Question: AA states that they will introduce a modified version of the Flagship Suite. Does anybody know what will be enhanced? All I can see is a larger TV monitor and more privacy in the reclined position.

Quoting seabosdca (Reply 19):3-4-3 for Y on the 777 is the way of the future, whether we like it or not

Except by voting with our $$s. Which is exactly what I have done and it's NZ's loss and UA gain. Yes I'll take a fairly crappie, non AVOD B744 over a 10 abreast B777 any day, I've done four long sectors on EK's, never again!

Quoting seabosdca (Reply 23):744s have much narrower seats than 9Y 777s. The difference between a 744 and a 10Y 777 generally ranges from zero to a quarter of an inch, depending on the width of the aisles on the 777.

From personal experience: I fit in a 10 abreast B744 seat on QF, BA,JL, AF; I do not fit in a 10 abreast B77W seat on EK. It's more like 15 to 20mm in practice than 6mm INMY EXPERIENCE, your experience may vary, but I'm not spending my $$s on anybodies 10 abreast B777.

Agreed

Am I the only one underwhelmed by this interior? Stars on the ceiling, Airbus has been doing that with EK since they got the A345?

Quoting TeamInTheSky (Reply 11):That is a great looking DL plane! I am only kidding, very nice though....

DL's interpretation, design, and execution of this seat is awful. The materials and color palette are cold and cheap looking and sadly, move the brand further away from that of a true global player. the came can be said for DLs other premium seats.

What is the seat pitch in AA's new 3-4-3 config Y cabin? While I have only flown EK in J, at least EK offers 34" pitch as consolation. Regardless, I understand the claustrophobic, uncomfortable, high density flyer experience.

: F and J look really awesome - these appear to be easily the best premium cabins of any U.S. airline. Y looks great, too, except the 3-4-3, which sucks

: "American will also offer an Economy Class premium seat product, which will include additional legroom for seats in the forward portion of the cabin,
